A colleague in the same world-wide company is trying to share a custom component (XIF) with us, but we don't share the same Outsystems environment, and the IPP issue is giving us headaches. I can open the source code, compile it, etc., but publishing is stopped by the IPP warning. Anyone have some tips?
Hi Joseph,
You can transfer the intellectual property of an application, solution or module, using the Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) Rights Validation.
The instructions below (and in more detail here):

Thanks. From my point of view, Outsystems is wrong on this one. Let's look at this from a shoplifting perspective. I own a clothing store, with those annoying alarm tags on expensive items of clothes. It seems to me that Outsystems allows a shoplifter (disgruntled employee, hacker, etc), to take things (components) from my store (environment), and then go to another store (Outsystems), which will gladly remove the alarm tags for the shoplifter. If the victim store asks, the other store (Outsystems) will give them the email addresses of all the shoplifters they have helped. Does this sound right?
I'd rather see a system that allows me to share with people I designate (with a one-time use code), or even, for a large enterprise, the ability to designate other environments with which they can freely share.
For that use case you want to be an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) which is different than the aforementioned IPP (Intelectual Property Protection).
As an ISV, you would be able to deploy a code in an environment without being able to access its code, just like Service Center, for instance. At least, it worked like this a few years ago when I used it often.
Kind Regards,
João
Hi João Marques
I have the same problem, also the link Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) Rights Validation you mention is down.
Hi Cristian,
Here is the correct URL:

Thanks Paul,
What is activation code and how do I get it?Best regards,
You can get the target environment's Activation code in the Service Center: https://personal-xxxxxxxx.outsystemscloud.com/ServiceCenter/Activation_Info.aspx
Thank Somesh Renganathan,
I'm getting closer to reaching the solution, I'm just doing something wrong.
Download the solution and try to upload it, as a result it throws me an Failed.
For what is this?
